Pamela Brunson is Victorious!
The Ladies Night at The Bike tournament was held over the course of two days and was one of the most exciting tournaments to watch. Not only was there a great field of players, but they were all treated to manicure's and a buffet on the first day of play. This tournament wasn't just a tournament though, for every player in the field, The Bike made a donation to the Susan G. Komen foundation, which totaled $93,060. The winner of this tournament would receive a seat to the main event at The Legends, a seat to the Ladies Night Out invitational, and $34,435.
We busted our bubble 11 hours into the tournament and the remaining 18 players bagged their chips and went home for the night. They would return the next day to fight for the tittle.
Once the final table was formed, the play picked up considerably. Phila Just put Marlene Holomon to the test by re-raising her all-in and Marlene made the call. Phila held pocket K's and Marlene had the A-J. The flop came 4-6-7 and now Marene would need a minor miracle. The turn was the 8 which did nothing for Marlene. The river was a 2 and Marlene Holomon was sent to the rail finishing in 10th place earning $1,630.
Della Jones got into some action against Gabrielle Wagner. The crippling hand was Della's A-Q versus Gabrielle's A-7 and the J-7-3 flop meant that Della needed to do some major catching up to do. The turn was the 3 and the river was the 6 and Della Jones was ousted in 9th earning $1,860.
Even though Gabrielle Wagner sent Della home, she was still a short stack at the table. She decided to make a move by making a raise UTG but got put all-in by Phila Just. Gabrielle called with her Q-8 and Phila held the 7-6. The flop was 5-2-9, the turn was a 2, and the river was an A. Gabrielle was sent packing in 8th place earning $2,095.
Renee Wexler tried to take a stand with her chips. She moved all-in and got the call from Rosemary Hershkowitz who was holding pocket 9's. Renee needed some serious help with her pocket 8's. The first three cards came 3-5-2, the turn was a J and the river was a 3. Renee Wexler is finished in 7th place earning $2,325.
Janise King raised in mid position to 5k and the action folded around to Carol Fuchs who announced that she was all-in. Janise called and turned over pocket 9's to Carol's pocket K's. The 7-6-3-3-6 board did nothing to help Janise and she was dispatched in 6th earning $3,255.
Phila Just was OTB and made it 4k to go. Lisa Steiner pushed her entire 26k stack in and Phila insta-called with pocket A's. Lisa held pocket 9's and the flop came out 5-A-4. The turn was a 3 and the river was a 7. Lise Steiner has been felted in 5th place earning $4,190.
Rosemary Hershkowitz was UTG and made it 6k to go. Pamela Brunson decided to make it 20k and Rosemary moved all-in. Pamela called and we had a race on our hands. Pamela had the pocket 7's and Rosemary had A-3. The flop came out J-9-2, the turn was a 7 which did it for Rosemary. The river was the Q and Rosemary Hershkowitz is done for the night in 4th place earning $5,585.
Phila was on the button and moved all-in for 26k. Pamela Brunson decided to flat call the bet and the action was over to Carol, who also flat called. The flop came 3-5-10 and Pamela and Carol checked. The turn was the Q and again, both players checked. The river was another Q and Pamela checked to Carol who made it 10k to go. Pamela folded and Carol turned up K-Q. Phila turned up her A-2 and that was it for her. Phila Just is gone in 3rd place earning $8,840.
Pamela Brunson was in the small blind and limped in and Carol checked her option. The flop was A-5-3 and Carol lead out with an 8k bet and Pamela moved all-in. Carol didn't hesitate in calling Pamela down and the hands were exposed. Carol held the A-10 and Pamela held the A-5. The turn came a 4 and the river was also a 4. Pamela had Carol covered in chips and Pamela Brunson is our champion earning $34,435, the $10k seat to the Legends of Poker main event, the seat to the Ladies Night Out tournament, and the beautiful trophy!
